While flying over the Pacific Ocean at an altitude of 36,000 feet, precisely at
11:58 AM local time, the aircraft was suddenly struck by a massive jolt, followed by a deafening bang. Panic gripped the passengers as the plane shuddered violently.
The Autopilot and the autothrottle disconnected, and all instruments were hazy for the pilots due to extreme shaking. The airplane rolled to the right at a 40-degree angle and became uncontrollable.
Would the pilots manage to reach their destination safely? Or were they doomed to a tragic fate in the ocean's depths?
This is the story of United Airlines Flight 1175.
